PURPOSE: The purpose of this amendment is to:

clarify a number of administrative matters within the text of the By-Law such as updating the table of contents and reference tables as well as administration sections of the By-Law;

change and update the Map Schedules to correct such matters as change zone symbols to create easier reference with By-Law text; removal of a Holding Symbol where provisions for the removal of the symbol were met and development occurred and delete a site-specific zone that was not correctly deleted;

correct formatting where Clauses were added to the wrong Sections of the By-Law; address inconsistent formatting within Sections; inconsistent use of wording; addition of zone symbols to titles; clarification of zone symbols and titles for ease of use of the By-Law; clarification of cross referencing of zone provisions; renumbering of clauses; the addition of provisions for the removal of a Holding (-H) Symbol to a site specific zone that was outside the area of By-Law No. 97-102;

correct errors including grammatical, typographical; errors in referencing; addressing uncertainty in terms of sections being correctly added to the By-Law; the use of "-H" in titles and text of site-specific zones where provisions for the removal of "-H" symbol are not referenced; and correcting a definition that is not consistent with the Planning Act.

EFFECT: The effect of this By-Law is to permit the clarification of administrative matters within the text of the By-Laws, correct formatting as well as errors to the By-Laws and change and update the Map Schedule of Zoning By-Law No. 97-102. These changes will have no substantive effect on the zones to which they apply, but will serve to clarify the intent and interpretation of the Zoning By-Laws.
